But the launcher RbnJrg posted still has that empty "Path= " line in it:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Sigil
Comment=ePUB file editor
TryExec=sigil
Exec=sigil %F
Icon=sigil
Categories=Office;
MimeType=application/epub+zip;
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

So I am confused.

Did he try with that line "Path= " in the launcher actually removed?

Where does "whereis sigil" report finding executables for sigil on his machine?

And what on earth on his machine caused a crash when no local-storage folder is found? Sigil explicitly checks for and creates it if missing?


It is almost like multiple versions of the sigil executable are being launched at the exact same time (one running someplace without the proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH set).

I can not recreate any type of crash when removing the local-storage folder on Manjaro with its distro build, nor with the AppImage, nor on MacOS.

So very strange!
